OPINIONS
Area of Study 1: from data to information
Data provided by teacher.
Can use existing sources such
as Melbourne Water, Bureau
Of Meteorology, Australian
Bureau of Statistics. Include
redundant/superfluous data.

No analysis required. Solution
requirements provided.
Design for functionality
and appearance; tools selected
from list in PSM.

Select data from data sets, design solutions and
use a range of spreadsheet functions to
develop solutions that meet specific purposes
Purposes of creating solutions
include to:
inform
entertain
educate
persuade

Use spreadsheet functions to
manipulate numeric data. Graphic
information is produced.
Validating and testing occur.
These are PSM activities.
Area of Study 2: networks
Types and uses of networks
to share ideas, files,
information, programs, resources.
Advantages and disadvantages
of networks.

Functions and characteristics
of technology
and protocols. Capabilities
and limitations of mobile devices.
Role of professional people.

Recommend a networked information system
for a specific use and explain possible
security threats to this networked
information system.

Security threats to data and
information  actions,
devices and events.
Area of Study 3: ICT in a global society

Contribute collaboratively to the design and
development of a website that presents
an analysis of a contemporary ICT issue
and substantiates the teams point of view.

Area of Study 1: data analysis and visualisation
Teacher provides a design brief.
Students access and select data
from large repositories.
Must have multiple users and
needs. All stages of PSM used.

One or more tools can be used.
Tools include programming
language (e.g. Python),
spreadsheet (motion charts in
Google Docs), database, data
visualisation tools (e.g. InfiView)

Apply the problem-solving methodology and
use appropriate software tools to create data
visualisations that meet users needs.
Users needs include to:
inform
entertain
educate
persuade

Types of data visualisations
include charts, maps, histograms,
graphs, spatial relationships,
network diagrams. Often
dynamic and interactive.
Spreadsheet data
placed in
GoogleDocs and
formatted as motion
chart

Change
selectio
n

Activate time
span

A process of using ICT to select and access data from large repositories and
Hans
present the data as effective graphics. ItRosling
is a process that orders data in a way that
is more: accessible, meaningful, visual, functional, aesthetic, dynamic.
Area of Study 2: programming and pathways

Only two stages of the PSM 
design and development.
Series of discrete tasks
rather than full solutions.

Any language can be used.
Same language can be used
throughout the entire unit.

Design, and develop using a programming or
scripting language, limited solutions, record
the learning progress electronically, and
explain possible career pathways that require
the use of programming or scripting skills.
Must keep diary/blog about
what was learned and how
students learned. Careers
and pathways must relate
to program/scripting skills.
Area of Study 3: tools, techniques and procedures

Teams can be virtual (e.g.
between classes and
schools). All stages of PSM.

Any software can be used.
Does not have to be tools
studied in this unit.

Work collaboratively and apply the
problem-solving methodology to create an
ICT solution, taking into account
client feedback.
Client must be available during
the designing stage as
well as for evaluation.
